(PRATT, Kan.)—

A pregnant woman was shot to death and a witness
says the man who tried to shield her from the bullets is in the
hospital. The shooting happened in Pratt Wednesday night near Ninnescah
and Blaine.

"The only thing I can think of is sitting there and watching the
woman just die. And he was just laying there, I was holding his hand the
whole time," said Zachary Wright.

Wright witnessed the
shooting. His brother Brandon Wright was shot and he held his hand until
help arrived. Wright says his brother Brandon will likely be paralyzed
from the waist down.

Wright says he and the two victims were walking in front of a house,
where a man was yelling racial slurs. He says the man demanded that
they get off his property, but he says they were on the sidewalk.
That's when a fight started between his brother and the man.

"They started to scuffle. And then the guy got loose and went inside.
When he came back out he had a gun in his hand. I said, 'Run, Brandon,
there's a gun. Run.'"

He says Brandon turned to protect the pregnant woman.

"He protected her. Yeah, he didn't want her to get shot. He didn't
have a chance to run. And he ended up getting shot four times in the
back. And then she got shot in the head, and so she's dead," he said.

Wright says when Seba came out of the house with police he was
smirking and continued yelling racial slurs at them. Wright says he now
just hopes justice is served because the fight ruined people's lives.

"Three lives because she was pregnant. She was a good woman. She was a
good mother. She loved her family. She was just family oriented. She
was a good person," he said.

He says his brother has a bullet lodged in his spine and doctors
don't think they can remove it. So he says they expect Brandon to be
paralyzed from the waist down. He says they've been able to speak with
Brandon and he could hear them, but he had trouble responding to them.

The woman is white and the dude is black right? the children look bi racial? folks spilling the T in the comment section...

From the babydaddy

"And for all y'all who think Brandon is a hero! He didn't do sh*t but
held her there as a shield! So let's get that sh*t straight""You took the mother of ma kids away ! Now wat do i do ? D'Adrian Garrett
! For yall who didn't know she has three other little boys ages 1,2 and
3 so lost !"

My kids were raised with all the kids involved and our families were all
close.

To those of you who are not from the community speculation and
hearsay is what you are basing your opinions on not the facts. You are
only hearing one persons story who is a sexual predator and well known
drug(meth)dealer in the community. The history between him, the one
felon that was shot and the shooter goes alot further back than that
night or what you know of from this story. None were angels. Those
bullets were not randomly and racially biased nor were they meant for
the pregnant mother. This was an ongoing battle of underbelly issues
that unfortunately plague that town and its no shocker to me that this
was going escalate eventually. To this degree is almost unbearable
because one child was sick of being beaten up regularly, one person
consistently antagonized the situation
and the others were simply caught up in the moment at the wrong time. At
the end of the day, too many lives were destroyed that night in a
series of single choices made by the predator, the shooter, the liar and
the dealer.None of this comes as a surprise to anyone who actually
knows these people. @ D'Adrian - know that you are loved and there will
be those that will reach out and help you when you need them to. @ the
detectives who will investigate this please do your jobs and get to the
ugly truths and learn the history on these kids so you get the full
picture- @ general population don't believe everything you hear and see,
just because its in writing doesn't make it so. Everyone involved
except the unborn child made choices that night to take part in the
timeline of events that graduated to what happened and all are guilty
and culpable to some degree.

The baby daddy IS doing to much but this could get really ugly for the town if they don't get the real facts. The rest of the black ppl could go crazy in that town. Sounds like simmering issues / small town.
